(Reuters) - Andy Murray said he is relishing the opportunity of facing Rafa Nadal for the first time in more than five years with the pair due to meet in Abu Dhabi later on Friday.

Murray, 34, beat Dan Evans 6-3 6-2 on Thursday and will face Nadal for a spot in the final of the exhibition event -- his first meeting with the Spaniard since the 2016 Madrid Open semi-final when the Scot won 7-5 6-4.
